PUBLICATION

Khatt Books is a publishing house that focuses on topics such as typography, graphic design, architecture, other applied and visual arts from or dealing with the MENA region.

During the summer of 2018, I worked as a Graphic Design intern on three volumes of Khatt Books, under the art direction of Huda Smitshuijzen AbiFarès, the founding director of Khatt Foundation. I initiated and developed the concept and layout design of the books based on the work of the three respective Arab artists.

volume 5:

KAMEEL HAWA: THE ART OF SHAPING ARABIC LETTERS

volume 6:

EMILE MENHEM: INVIGORATING ARAB JOURNALISM THROUGH GRAPHIC DESIGN

volume 7:

SALOUA RAOUDA CHOUCAIR: MODERN ARAB DESIGN. AN EXPLORATION OF ABSTRACTION ACROSS MATERIALS AND FUNCTIONS.
